It is the latest version of Windows Server that addresses four important customer challenge areas: hybrid workloads, security, application platform, and hyper-converged infrastructure.

OpenSSH is the open source version of Secure Scripting Host (SSH) tools used to administer Linux and other non-Windows operating systems for cross-platform management of remote systems.

The OpenSSH comes with a set of client and server solutions used to enable secure remote login, remote file transfer, and public or private key pair management. Originated as a part of the OpenBSD project, the OpenSSH is now powering several ecosystems including BSD, Linux, macOS, and Unix.

Microsoftis adding OpenSSH to Windows Server 2019 to enable enterprises to use a consistent set of tools for remote server administration. It will prove to be a very useful addition for enterprises that work across a wide range of operating systems.

The company had added Win32 of OpenSSH in Windows Server version 1709 and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update as pre-release feature.

When Microsoft released the Windows 10 version 1803 in April this year, it added OpenSSH as a supported feature on-demand component. But this feature was still not supported on Windows Server.

With today’s update, OpenSSH support is now available as a feature on-demand with Windows Server 2019 as well.

Microsoft is focusing on making the Visual Studio faster to open, work with projects stored in git repositories, integrating Live Share for improved collaboration between teammates, and powering IntelliSense with artificial intelligence (AI).
